Now available from Simtel20: Filename Type Bytes CRC Directory PD1:<MSDOS.SYSUTL> HIMEM206.ARC.2 BINARY 8887 A7D8H XMS20.ARC.2 BINARY 127544 F7ACH These fix a problem which was recently brought to Microsoft's attention. The problem only existed on people with 80286 (not 80386) systems which were using the extended memory blocks (EMBs) of HIMEM, not the high memory area (HMA). The 286 extended memory move function of HIMEM was not being initialized. Unfortunately Microsoft decided to keep the same version numbers and filenames. You can tell if you have the updated version by the checking the file dates.
